Excerpt from The Opening of the Mississippi a Struggle for Supremacy in the American InteriorThe close relation coming more and more to be recog nized as existing between the geography of a country and the history of its inhabitants impels a consideration of the Mississippi as the great trade and travel artery of the American interior. Together with its tributaries, it fur nished the most inviting pathway for the early explorer, the missionary, the trader, and the settler. It was, of course, because of its extreme economic importance that the river was so keenly contended for by rival nationali ties and in¿uenced so greatly the transforming of the inland wilderness into one of the choicest of dwelling places for mankind.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
